Respect Each Other
Be courteous and respectful in your interactions with others. Avoid personal attacks, hate speech, or offensive comments targeting individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other characteristics.
Share Constructive Feedback
We value diverse perspectives and healthy discussions. When expressing opinions, keep them constructive and grounded in kindness. Disagreements are natural but should remain respectful and solution-focused.

Keep comments and discussions relevant to the blog post or topic. Avoid spamming, self-promotion, or posting unrelated content.
Avoid Harmful Content
Do not share misinformation, harmful rumors, or unverified claims. Refrain from posting explicit, violent, or abusive material.
Give Credit Where Due
Respect intellectual property by giving proper credit to creators, authors, and sources when referencing their work. Do not plagiarize or post copyrighted material without permission.
Protect Privacy
Do not share private or personal information—yours or others'. Respect the confidentiality of conversations and other community members’ boundaries.
Be Open and Inclusive
Embrace different viewpoints and be willing to learn from others. Foster a sense of belonging by welcoming diverse voices into the conversation.
